Found with Grubbs1337 and ITWimdy. ??A great day out with Dad and his mate.Thanks for the cache ??
A nice little challenge to start the day no bridge no problem no water easy peasy added my signature and replaced however I did find the missing bridge elsewhere and used it then when needed cheers KB
Ended up on the wrong side of the culvert with no bridge in sight. Wrong cache to attempt day after leg day. Tftc.
If this was a bridge it's a pity it's not still there as we ended up on the wrong side of the culvert.We both went down into it and then I helped Mr Beetle up the other side to GZ.On the way back the same was done and then Mr Beetle helped me up.Had to go back as our bikes were parked on the approach side.Thanks TIGERSDEN for another smiley on this ride around a few of the tracks in the area.
An unusual situation for us instead of being in lovely warm Queensland we are hiding around cold old Victoria. Medical reasons and caravan repairs have us staying here and we will be looking forward to finding as many caches as possible while we are here. SL TFTC
In Bendigo for a funeral thia afternoon. A wee spot of Geocaching seemed a good way to boost my flagging ability to regulate.
A quick find here thankfully - I'm running out of time. No log so I used a page out of my notebook as a replacement Many thanks

The last day of the school holidays for the kids, a sunny day , well what to do.... a little bit of geocaching. We are slowly getting back into it, after slowing down last few yeas.
We've enjoyed a few recent trips to Bendigo, and when I saw a Facebook posting on "The Lost History of Melbourne/Victoria & Its Pioneers" page highlighting Crusoe Reservoir and No. 7 Park well the location was decided.
I'd never been to these Reservoirs before but the picture on FB of "The Basin" really inspired to me to check them out - the curved brick basin really intrigued me and I wanted to see it in person. We (all 5 of the plowfivesters) parked at Crusoe Reservoir carpark and walked up to the car park at No 7 Park and back. A beautiful walk. Really enjoyed it and definitely will be back here to walk the loop around Crusoe Reservoir which we ran out of time to do.
Only two of us were game to risk the "mostly a bridge" including all 111kgs of me! Well made it there and back and lived to tell the tale.
Thanks tigersden, for testing my balance, the strength of "mostly a bridge" and the cache. It was slightly damp but still sign able. I did see one more of "mostly a bridge" whilst on our walk.

Found with [@geo_wife](http://coord.info/PRPJ9T7) after a quick walk around the res. Luckily we picked the right side of the channel to walk down and soon made a quick find. Also the logs are rather soggy and might need replacing soon. Thanks for the cache.
Found 12.15pm
We have been looking at doing this cache for a long time and even though we visit the area quite often we have always had something else to do.
Once we worked out which side to use it was a nice walk to GZ where a quick find was made.
TNLNSL Thanks for the cache.

In town for a maintenance run, or ride actually! Another old piece of infrastructure we would not have seen without playing the geo-game.
Thanks tigersden for placing interesting caches on the gameboard.

Thank you for the walk in the bush. Just letting you know cache found out in the open. Log very wet.
Bit of a walk to get to it but easy to find cache; log is damp & needs replacing. TFTC
Easy find but I decided to do some climbing. With supervision of Mello watching, though I think she did more laughing at my failed attempt to get back up.
Log is damp. Tftc.

Afternoon walk with Bogonhazy. Enjoyed the walk around the lake despite falling over. Thank you for placing the geocache.
Out for an afternoon's caching with LittleBoss2, and our walks included this cache.
Our thanks to Tigersden, this was one where I was volunteered to cross the channel

Did this one with Ghihash and after watching him nearly face planting. And a laugh afterwards
Arfter crossing most of the bridge in the wet and almost face planting into the dry aqueduct I made across to the cache. Quick find once on the right side.

Did this walk early in the morning and really enjoyed it. Cache was an easy find. Jumping into and out of channels was fun.
While others got on the wrong side, I got right but decided to go on the other side for some reason. Spent 10mins on the other side until I noticed that I am way off, then went back and spent less than a minute to find my #5.

Like others stuck on the wrong side of the channel, but good hide made it worth it. Thanks
After attending the Geocaching Victoria event at the No 7 Park Big Hill I teamed up with the event organiser GemmaSistema for a few hours of caching fun around Bendigo.
I have not done a lot of caching up this way so it was good to be out and about up here today.
We were targeting a few oldies and some others that we came upon.
So after dropping Gemma off back at her car as she had another engagement I came back to the reservoir to try and finish off the ones around here.
Parked the Geocruiser at the car park and off I went.
Crossed back over the bridge and took the track that went past the puddler towards this one and came across this thing.
Not sure what the thing is but what I do know is that I’m on the wrong side of the channel again but at least this one doesn’t have any water in it.
Slid down one side and managed to scramble up the other to try and locate this one.
After a brief search I soon located the cache, added my name to the log and now to continue my walk around the reservoir and on to the next one.
I added some extra log sheets to the cache with what I had on me.
Thanks tigersden TFTC.

In Bendigo for the event here so with time to spare I decided a morning walk was in order. A lovely meander in the sunshine and easy finds. Thanks for the caches.
After a bit of bush bashing this was an easy find. Fortunately no water in the Chanel as we found ourselves on the wrong side. Quickly fixed by a bit of mountain climbing!
Hi. Log book is completely full so will need a new one but didn’t have any paper on me to help out sorry
Found myself on the wrong side of the culvert from this one, so a scramble down and up was in order. After that it was an easy find.
